Breaking the Bank
April 16th, 2000; Breaking The Bank is a remarkable independent account of the April 2000 protests against the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank. Drawing on the hard work of eight activist production groups and scores of volunteer videographers, this 74-minute documentary is filled with dramatic, inspiring footage from the streets of DC. Scenes of confrontation and harassment the police are intercut with the protests, puppets, and the passionate actions of thousands upon thousands of protestors.

Life & Debt, Globalization & Jamaica

..

"Utilizing excerpts from the award-winning non-fiction text "A Small Place" by Jamaica Kincaid, Life & Debt is a woven tapestry of sequences focusing on the stories of individual Jamaicans whose strategies for survival and parameters of day-to-day existence are determined by the U.S. and other foreign economic agendas. By combining traditional documentary telling with a stylized narrative framework, the complexity of international lending, structural adjustment policies and free trade will be understood in the context of the day-to-day realities of the people whose lives they impact."

Why, 50 years after independence, is Ghana, which is rich in
minerals and is a stable democracy, still one of the poorest countries
in the world?
This documentary examines the activities of multinational corporations, as well as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, to find out whether they have actually made countries like Ghana worse off. And, most importantly, asks how we, as consumers and citizens, can make a difference.

"Three weeks ago James Wolfensohn, President of the World Bank, was supposed to appear on CNN, and he told CNN that if I showed up and they put me on the air he would not appear; he would remove all tapes of his interviews if Greg Palast were allowed on the air. And CNN did the courageous thing and yanked me out of the studio. Now we're going to find out why. "

MARCH 25th: Student Strike Against the Budget & Tuition Hikes!

On March 25^th, a week before Paterson’s budget will be finalized, the SUNY Social Justice Network is calling for a STATEWIDE STUDENT STRIKE against Governor Paterson’s budget plan, which puts an unfair burden on students and working people to close the state deficit.

Governor Paterson’s plan reflects a cycle of appropriating wealth from those who can least afford it to pay for the mistakes of Wall Street. Why should we cut education and health-care to send more wealth up the chain? Paterson’s budget will only be defeated by sustained grassroots action, in which SUNY and CUNY students must play a vital role. Coordinated statewide actions will send a clear message to those in power that the solution should not come at the expense of public education, health-care and vital social services.

On March 25^th, ditch your desks, skip class and organize actions on your campus!

On March 25^th, we need to turn out in numbers on our campuses to demand:

-- Full funding for health care

-- Affordable public education

-- A Fair Share Tax where the richest New Yorkers pay an appropriate tax rate

-- No tuition increases for SUNY & CUNY


To get involved with the coordination of this statewide day of
action, join the google group at http://groups.google.com/..group/suny-social-justice-..network and check back often at www.sunysocialjustice.org


In solidarity,

The SUNY Social Justice Network at Binghamton University

More information on the tuition hikes:

While SUNY students are being asked to pay more for their education, Governor Paterson is proposing massive budget cuts to education and health care in order to decrease the state deficit. Rather than increasing the tax rates of the 3.2% of the
wealthiest New Yorkers (who currently pay the same rate as everyone else), SUNY tuition has been increased by $620 (in-state) and $2,260 (out of state) for the 2009-2010 academic year.

Tuition is set to continue increasing each year until 2013, when the plan will be re-evaluated. Under the Fair Share Tax Reform Act which has been introduced in the New York State Senate (fairsharereform.com), slight increases in tax rates for the very rich (those making $250,000+/year) could "generate 6 billion dollars of revenue
for the state". Tax the rich, not our education!

About the SUNY Social Justice Network:

Welcome to the SUNY Social Justice Network. Thank you all for making the
first SUNY Social Justice Conference in November the success that it
was. First off, we'd like to apologize for being out of touch for so long! The conference was to be a starting point from which we would continue to build upon the collective momentum achieved over those three days, and the events of the past months
have demonstrated how incredibly important that remains.

Since the conference, The New School, Hampshire College, the University of Rochester, and NYU have all staged student occupations of campus space, demanding accountability and transparency from their institutions and waging powerful divestment campaigns. Students in New York are refusing to be silent, and we are finding more power and more voice each day in the face of compliant administrations and complicit government actors. These uprisings in New York come alongside international grassroots movements, from the riots in Greece and throughout Europe against police repression and neoliberalism, the University of Edinburgh students who have occupied campus space in solidarity with Palestine, the first Zapatista festival of dignified rage in Mexico, the people who have taken to the streets worldwide to protest the horrors in Gaza, and so many others. And although global capitalism has long been a crisis for most of the world, its inherently unsustainable nature is becoming clearer each day to those who are realizing they have the power to fight it.


This network can serve as a way to bring together the huge amount of energy, power, and inspiration present in New York right now. We believe that this can be achieved through the new format of sunysocialjustice.org, a wiki page that we claim as an autonomous internet space where we can share and coordinate our projects, events, news, ideas, actions, inspirations, thoughts, words, media, resources, etc! Although of course not limited to SUNY or CUNY students, "public" higher education in New York is clearly under attack and needs to be confronted through a coalition of these state schools. On the wiki site, CUNY and SUNY students can find their college or university and update their pages with current projects, news, calls to action, etc.


The Binghamton University link on the wiki site may give folks an idea of what sorts of possible content to include. This wiki site is open to everyone, and anyone can update it at any time (please see the how-to section at the bottom of the page if you are unfamiliar with the site). If your school is not listed, please still post news, updates, etc. regarding the student struggle! There is an "allies" section on the site, and anyone can add any categories they see fit. CUNY students: we SUNY students want to engage in dialogue about your social forum and current strategies! Students who have organized successful occupations or aspire to keep this movement alive: please share your stories and inspiration! In the same vein of the student occupations, this is OUR space to collectively create another educational model.


Although we hope that people will be inspired to utilize the wiki page, information can also be spread using the SUNY Social Justice Network Google Group. Please add your e-mail to the group, at http://groups.google.com/..group/suny-social-justice-..network.

Let's keep each other updated on our movement! Through these mediums, it is our hope that students throughout the state will be able to communicate and coordinate more effectively to build real social change.
